 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

FITCH RATINGS UPGRADES NIGERIA ON THE BACK OF TINUBU'S REFORMS: BLOOMBERG. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE


 Fitch Ratings upgrades Nigeria on the back of Tinubu's reforms: Bloomberg

“The upgrade reflects increased confidence in the government’s broad commitment to policy reforms implemented since its move to orthodox economic policies in June 2023, including exchange rate liberalisation, monetary policy tightening, and steps to end deficit monetisation and remove fuel subsidies,” Fitch said in a statement Friday.


In May, the rating agency lifted Nigeria's credit outlook to positive from stable, citing government efforts to restore economic stability. However, it left the rating on its long-term foreign currency debt at B-.
